How Saba Kept Singing is a moving film about Holocaust survivor David Wisnia. His testimony and experiences will help students gain a deeper understanding of life in Auschwitz, the importance of humanity and perseverance, and the power of music. The film is freely available from Retro Report, a non-profit journalism organization dedicated to connecting past and present, and can be used in its entirety or in clips associated with the suite of resources that accompany the film.

Join David Olson, Director of Education at Retro Report, as he discusses this film and offers resources and strategies to bring Retro Report’s library of over 275 short-form documentaries and accompanying resources to help foster engagement and critical thinking in your classroom.
